PAGE 4 THE TWIG APRIL 6. 1978 WRAL'TV internship said exciting, interesting Two Meredith juniors are now officially employed as interns at the WRAL-TV station. Ms. Holly Waddell began working as an intern Jan. 24 in the News Production department at the television station. She works with such TV personalities as Charlie Gaddy, Bobbie Battista, Tom Suiter, Bob Debardelaben, Nick Pond and Leila Tvedt, not to mention various news producers and technical engineers. A routine day for Ms. Waddell includes writing and typing news scripts for Mr. Gaddy and Ms. Battista, listening to police and rescue squad radio scanners for any hint of a possible story, and running general errands to video tape and production rooms for Mr. Gaddy. One of the more in teresting things that Ms. Waddel does is operating the chyron (pronounced kyron) computer. This is a computer with a typewriter-like keyboard that pre-records name and place tags typed on its tapes and places them at the proper place on the television screen. Ms. Becca Guillion, the other intern at Channel Five, is responsible for the television programs seen on the air between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., with the exception of the local and network news. Film editing is the process of actually preparing a show or a full- length film to be shown on the air. It sometimes involves cutting as little as three ’minutes out of a “Gilligan’s Island” episode or deleting as much as 25 minutes from a Miss Scarboro enjoys people by Carolyn Morton There are many people on the Meredith campus that make life for the students a lot more enjoyable. Miss Virginia Scarboro, secretary to the Vice-President for Business and Finance, is such a person. Miss Scarboro has been a part of campus life for sixteen years. Originally from Kan napolis, N.C., Miss Scarboro went to Lees McRae and at tended the . Presbyterian School of Christian Education in Richmond. “I was a college f’reshman at 24. I had stayed out of school for 8 years,” Miss Scarboro commented. Prior to college. Miss Scarboro played professional women's softball in a North Carolina league. “In a small town everybody went to the games. This was the only form of entertainment and the whole family went,” she added. In 1939 her team went to the national finals in Chicago, and, in that same year. Miss Scarboro made all- state. After college. Miss Scarboro became the Director of Christian Education for her hometown church. She later came to Raleigh to fill that same position at First Presbyterian. ‘Tve always enjoyed working with people - voung and old. I’ve taught children in church for years,” she said. Miss Scarboro’s hobbies include working cross word puzzles and double crostics. She is presently involved on a committee to work with people in the 50’s age group who are not old enough for the Senior Citizens program at First Presbyterian. On the change she has seen in Meredith in the past 16 years. Miss Scarboro com mented, “I remember when Freshmen couldn’t leave campus in the first six weeks of school. Of course, the student body and faculty here at Meredith has grown.” — Sports News— Softball is Underway As I was coming back from Ridgewood Shopping Center, a group of ap proximately 20 girls were out on the softball field tossing balls back and forth. I glanced at my watch, and seeing it was only 3:.30,1 decided to stay and watch a while. A small, energetic man clapped his hands and started running down the field. It was like a chain reaction! Everyone followed, but of course, this man, “Doc,” led the pack. Then, they all laid down on the ground and did the 20 sit-ups with their leader. These were followed by some squat thrusts, toe-touching, arm rotations, leg lifts, and all kinds of good things. Those poor girls looked worn out and practice had not begun. While watching them practice. 1 saw a lot of talent. I also realized how much time and energy is put into a varsity sport.

Ms. Guillion, who had no previous experience in editing, underwent training for two days before she put together a show by herself. The work requires split- second timing and an eye for locating sequences which may be cutaway to shorten the show, or between which commercial breaks may be placed. The job also involves re-building shows, putting back into proper sequence segments that have been deleted. The work is often delicate. Each time a show is taken apart and put back together, frames in the film are destroyed which may result in a loss of audio and visual quality. Although the internships may not sound too glamorous. there are thrilling moments, such as when Ms. Waddell hears Charlie Gaddy read a news story she wrote, or when Ms. Gmlliori,: across the hall in a control room, watches a show she prepared earlier that week come on the air, and knows that thousands of people in the Channel Five viewing area are seeing the result of her work. What effect will these internships have on the futures of the Meredith juniors? Says Ms. Waddell: “This job has made me realize that I definitely want a career in broadcasting. I am being exposed to the different aspects of the field of television, which will ultimately help me to decide which direction I want to pursue.” Ms. Guillion shares the enthusiasm of her fellow in tern. “I love what I’m doing,” says Ms. Guillion. “Being a film editor allows me to be creative to a certain degree in putting together a show to be aired. A technical position such as this provides an op portunity to learn what makes a show successful and well- received by the public. Television is one of our most valuable means of com munication, and I hope to continue in the field in any and all possible aspects.” MEET THE CANDIDATES FORUM \T YWCA Of Raleigh 1012 Oberlin Road April 9, 1978: N.C.
